HOLWAY: You heard the verdict.
LOUISE: Verdict? A man takes a hammer and bashes in the back of his own head? Then he lays on the tracks and kills himself?
HOLWAY: We only act on the verdicts, we don't make them.
LOUISE: Do you pay or don't you?
HOLWAY: Read the policy, ma'am. lt clearly states...
I can't imagine why this scene is coming to mind this evening...
